Run cold email with OpenClaw

Yes — OpenClaw can build, launch and manage your cold email campaigns in WarmySender, all in plain language, through the same 78-tool connection Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and Hermes Agent share. You ask in OpenClaw’s chat, on your own machine or server. It never sends a message itself and can never raise a limit: it writes the campaign and hands it to WarmySender’s scheduler, which paces every email, LinkedIn, Instagram and WhatsApp action inside safe limits no matter who is driving. Connecting and disconnecting accounts stays in the app.

Why OpenClaw for cold email

OpenClaw is a self-hosted agent: it runs on a machine you control, and you talk to it from its own chat rather than a vendor’s window. It connects with two commands — one registers the server with sign-in enabled, the second opens a WarmySender sign-in in your browser. OpenClaw ignores static headers while sign-in is on, so no key is ever stored. Cold email through OpenClaw suits a team that wants the agent on its own machine or server rather than in a vendor’s chat window. Register WarmySender once with two commands; the sign-in runs in your browser and OpenClaw stores no key.

What OpenClaw can and cannot do with cold email

Every "can" below stands on a real tool in the WarmySender connection. Every "cannot" is not a setting — there is simply nothing an agent can call that does it.

Can / cannotWhat that means for cold email
CanCreate a multi-step campaign, edit it, and set the sending window and daily limits.
CanStart, pause and resume a campaign — starting only hands it to the scheduler.
CanAdd prospects one at a time or in bulk, update their details, and enroll or unenroll them.
CanWork from your saved email templates instead of writing every email from scratch.
CanRead and add to your suppression list so the wrong people are never contacted.
CanReport on every campaign and explain why nothing went out today.
CanAdd a branded tracking domain and check that it is set up correctly.
CanSet the postal address and opt-out wording used in your email footer.
CannotSend an email itself — it writes the campaign and WarmySender’s scheduler sends at your safe pace.
CannotRaise a daily cap, a warmup stage or a domain ceiling — nothing it can call moves a limit.
CannotConnect or disconnect a mailbox — credentials never pass through an agent.
CannotSwitch off the opt-out in your footer — it can change the style, never remove it.
CannotRead or reply to responses — replies stay in WarmySender’s inbox, with you.

Connect OpenClaw to WarmySender

OpenClaw registers WarmySender from its command line and signs in through your browser — after that it can call every tool from its chat.

Run both lines; the second opens a WarmySender sign-in in your browser. OpenClaw ignores static headers while sign-in is on, so no key is ever stored.

openclaw mcp add warmysender --url https://warmysender.com/mcp --transport streamable-http --auth oauth
openclaw mcp login warmysender

Prefer a key? Create one under Settings › API Keys and choose exactly which permissions it carries, including read-only. With a key, the OpenClaw route is: Run this once to register WarmySender. OpenClaw can then call any of WarmySender's 78 tools.

Both routes reach the same workspace and stay inside the same safe limits. Every agent's steps live on the AI Agents hub.

How a session goes in OpenClaw

  1. Open OpenClaw. Start OpenClaw on the machine where you registered WarmySender and open its chat.
  2. Say what you want. At the OpenClaw prompt, on your own machine: "Create a three-step campaign called "Agency founders" for this list, weekdays only, from my two warmed mailboxes, then start it."
  3. Check back whenever you like. From OpenClaw’s chat, ask: "Why did the "Q4 partners" campaign send nothing yesterday?"
  4. The scheduler does the sending. OpenClaw has only written the plan. WarmySender’s scheduler paces every email inside safe limits and the gradual ramp, and keeps going after OpenClaw is stopped.

Things to say to OpenClaw

Safe by design — no matter who's driving

OpenClaw never sends a message itself and can never raise a limit. Creating or launching a campaign only writes it and hands it to WarmySender's scheduler, which paces every email, LinkedIn, Instagram and WhatsApp action inside safe limits and a gradual ramp — the same protections that apply when a human clicks the buttons. Connecting and disconnecting accounts stays in the app. Account safety always wins.

Frequently asked questions

Can OpenClaw run my cold email campaigns for me?

Yes. Connect OpenClaw to WarmySender and ask in plain language, in OpenClaw’s chat, on your own machine or server — it can build, launch and manage your cold email campaigns. It never sends a message itself and can never raise a limit: it writes the campaign and hands it to WarmySender’s scheduler, which paces every email, LinkedIn, Instagram and WhatsApp action inside safe limits no matter who is driving. Connecting and disconnecting accounts stays in the app.

How do I connect OpenClaw to WarmySender?

OpenClaw registers WarmySender from its command line and signs in through your browser — after that it can call every tool from its chat. Run both lines; the second opens a WarmySender sign-in in your browser. OpenClaw ignores static headers while sign-in is on, so no key is ever stored. The command text is: openclaw mcp add warmysender --url https://warmysender.com/mcp --transport streamable-http --auth oauth openclaw mcp login warmysender — the server address is https://warmysender.com/mcp. The steps are on this page under "Connect OpenClaw", and the full install hub for every agent is at /ai-agents.

Can OpenClaw raise my cold email limits?

No. Nothing an agent can call moves a limit — not a mailbox’s daily cap, your domain’s ceiling or the pace across the sending window. OpenClaw can read where you are against a limit and tell you when a pause lifts; WarmySender’s scheduler decides what actually goes out.

Can OpenClaw connect my mailbox?

No. Connecting and disconnecting accounts stays in the app on purpose — a credential should never pass through an agent or a chat log. Connect the mailbox once in WarmySender; after that OpenClaw can use it.

What happens if OpenClaw enrolls too many people at once?

Nothing goes out in a burst. Starting a campaign only queues it, and WarmySender’s scheduler drains that queue at your normal daily pace across your sending window, inside each mailbox’s limit and your domain’s ceiling. Pausing is one sentence and is never blocked, and everything the agent built is a normal campaign you can open, edit or delete.

Where does OpenClaw keep my WarmySender sign-in?

OpenClaw keeps the sign-in it obtains from the browser flow that the login command opens. No API key is written to its configuration, because OpenClaw ignores static headers while sign-in is on.

I run OpenClaw on a server — does cold email still work?

Yes, as long as the one-time sign-in can be completed in a browser. WarmySender is a hosted server at https://warmysender.com/mcp, reachable from any machine, and the mailbox stays connected in WarmySender — never on the agent host.

Can I use an API key with OpenClaw instead of the browser sign-in?

Yes — create a key under Settings › API Keys and use the key form on the AI Agents hub, which registers the server without the sign-in flag. With sign-in on, OpenClaw ignores static headers, so pick one route or the other.
